Start of Year Again 2009

After half a year deprived of cosplay photoshoot, Itismoi went to SOYA'09 recently.

A dilemma.

Wanted to experiment with pull processing to achieve a low contrast and saturation image which looks like a manga cover rendered with copic markers. If so an overexposure of 1 stop will be required. He only had an iso 100 slides. There are issue of not enough speed and uncertainty in the result. The next cosplay in Singapore will be 6 months away.

Luckily, although the result is not as expected, the exposure turns out ok. Looking through the first roll of slides through a lightbox is simply intriguing. Depth of field is more than sharpness vs blurness, it looks like layers of focus, the focused image jumps out at you!

Anyway, the cosplay event is great. The cosplayers are good at their poses, they could pull off certain poses.
